Veneers vs Lumineers
Dental veneers and lumineers are tooth-coloured shells of porcelain designed and later trimmed to fit over your teeth. As a result, minor aesthetic flaws can be remedied, such as cracks, chips, staining, small gaps, and teeth that are slightly crooked. Special dental cement is used to keep them in position.
Though they are similar in many ways, there are differences between them that you should be aware of before committing to a treatment.
Veneers
- Usually 0.5mm thick or so
- Require enamel removal
- Irreversible process
- Look very natural
- last 10-15 years with proper care
Lumineers
- Thinner than veneers, usually 0.2mm thick
- Very minimal enamel removal is needed
- Reversible
- May not be able to fully hide dark stains due
- Last up to 10 years only
It’s important to you discuss each option with your dentist in Langley, as they will be able to provide you with more information. Traditional veneers are the more expensive option, but they last longer. Ultimately, alongside your dentist’s recommendation, the choice is up to you. Don’t be afraid to take some time to consider your budget and preferences.
Impressions of your teeth are taken and delivered to an external laboratory where the technicians create your customized shells. You may be supplied with temporary coverings while you wait to protect your teeth once the enamel has been etched off. You’ll be asked to return to the clinic once the permanent set is ready for placement. Before you leave, your dentist will double-check that everything is in order and that you are satisfied with the results.
